On my road bike:
+ a mini pump mounted to my frame and a small electric pump in my jersey pocket
It sounds a lot, but it all fits in a small saddle bag.
On my gravel bike I have all of the above plus:
Maybe a bit over the top, but it still fits in a medium sized saddle bag.
I've always been curious about TPU, love that it packs so small. Do you ride them all the time or just after a puncture?
I ride them all the time. I'm completely sold on them and would use them on any bike except a commuter.
The only disadvantages are the price and them holding air a bit worse than standard tubes so you need to pump them up a bit more often.
